Concordia University-Wisconsin Top Questions

The one piece of advice I would give to my senior self would be to stick it out and keep your head raised. Senior year may not be the most fun, or best year of your life but it does get better. Despite the disappointments of not getting to play sports because of my bad knee I would tell myself to hold on and continue to fight not only in sports but in school where I lost motiation to study and really learn. I would tell myself to finish highschool strong and not give up because being a highschool senior is not the end of the world, as there is so much more that God has planned for not only my life but the lives around me and if i mope and pout about all the disappointments and failures in life then no one benefits from my perspective. Look for ways to help other people in your new position. So you may not get to hit the ball but you can inspire those who do get to by your actions on and off the field. Remember to live your life the way God wants you to.

First and formost, a college student must commit themselves to college. This means attending every class, handing in every assignment on-time and accurately. There are no wake-up calls, nobody reminding anyone to turn in homework, and nobody to tell you to get to class. You're on your own. Next, if you live on your own, find a roommate and live as cheap as possible. Less spending means more money to do other things, or relax. It's easier to work less and relax instead of working more and stressing out over a lack of sleep, a lack of time to do homework, and so on. Finally, time can be your friend or your enemy. Enjoy your time in college. Get a job on campus so you can spend extra time on campus. Get involved with campus activities. Have fun, because you won't be young again.

By the time I was a High School Senior I had determined the school I would be going to and my major. Looking back I would relax and use the opportunity to check out more schools before making my decision. I was gald that I had taken a course that inclued real life exposure to the field I was planning on entering.

Relax....just a little, would be the first thing that I would tell my senior self. I have always been a little worrier and knowing what I know now I could go back and relieve my past self with some comforting words so that my heart would stop beating out of my chest everytime I thought about starting college. I also said "just a little", because being on top of your game in college is always better then waiting last minute for everything. Getting everything in place, down to where your classes are will take off some of the stress and help you stay focus and calm. After doing so well my first semester in college, I had a moment of "Wow! I really can do this." So to go back and let myself know a little in advance that everything will be awesome and to enjoy the ride that college puts you on. Always staying on track, but letting go and having that stomach dropping feeling every once and a while will make you stronger inside and out.

Mary, you are a pretty decent person. I'm not going to deny it. But sometimes, you get just a little cocky. Take it down a notch, kiddo. When you get to college, everything is going to change. There are going to be people who are better than you. There's no point in trying to prove your superiority, because you won't be superior. In high school, you're used to being the Bible guru, for example. That won't be the case at Concordia. There will be pastor's kids galore, along with quite a few church work majors like yourself. If you want to be a leader, if you want to get ahead of the game, you will have to work for it. You're not a stranger to work, so I think you'll figure it out. Speaking of figuring things out, don't limit yourself. There are so many opportunities for you at Concordia if you just look around. Nursing home ministry, the children's play, running in the top seven, leading devotions, writing puppet shows - just to name a few. Most of all, be yourself. That much, I know you can do.

I have been more successful in my career since attending Columbus State Community College. My co-workers have seen me advance in my medical skills since taking classes plus my confidence in myself and my abilities have increased as well. I am also more aware of things going on around me in my work and I believe I have grown as a person. I am looking forward to completing my education at Columbus State and moving on to another University where I can learn more which will lead to better skills, more competency in my field and more confidence in myself and my abilities.

Through Concordia, I am getting a good education. This is what is valuable to me. Professors are great at preparing students for careers. I have been able to choose the career path I want to follow and have learned much about this area. I feel that the education I am getting through Concordia is better than the education I would receive through many other schools.

When i first came to Concordia University Wisconsin, i was a bit timid or afraid of the unknown. Concordia has become a huge part of my life, not only because i am a ful time student, but also because it has helped to shape and mold me into the person who i am today. My college experience to this date has been unlike many others i believe. I pay for college mysef, so money for me is never something i take for granted. My freshmen year, i worked three jobs and took twenty one credits, and now this year i am once again taking twenty one credits, but working four jobs this time. Apart from the learning and my demanding schedule, Concordia means everything to me. I have learned information and gained knowledge that no one will ever be able to take away from me. My teachers have been there for me when times are tough, and i have made friends whom i wish to keep for life. Overall, my college experience has been worthwhile, a journey that i cherish and make the best out of. I am eager to see what my future has in store for me.
